WASHINGTON, June 1a-The signal
ONCE weather crop bulletin for the week
ending June II, reports that during tine
week the weather has been warmer tnan
the weekly average In all agricultural
districts east Of the Rocky mountains, ex-
cept in the Atlantic States from Maine
southwestward to Virginia and Southerh
Texas. This excess OF temperature ior
the week has been greatest in the corn
and wheat regions Of the northwes !,
where the average daily excess ranged
above the normal from four TO elgnt de'
grees, the lstter excass In Eastern
Dakota-conditlon most favorable In the
present stage Of the crops.
In the cotton belts the excess OF TEN
perature has averaged from one TO three
degrees daily, save in Texas, where the
temperature has been about normal
The tobacco re yons have had weather
from one TO two degrees warmer than
usual To the westward Of the Allegheny
Mountains, while on the eastward 1t has
been from one TO four degrees colder.
The temperature since January last has
been substantially normal in the Atlantic
States, and from New York westward TO
Michigan, while q slight deficiency, less
than a degree daily, has existed in the
grain districts.
A seasonal excess of temperature, av-
eraging from one TO two degrees daily,
has prevailed over the Ohio, Lower Mis-
souri, and Lower Mississippi Valley. Dur
ing the past six weeks, which have been
important, especially for the grain grow
ing districts, the TEN perature has been
steadily in excess over the corn and
wheat regions, ana has been nearly sta
tionary in the cotton belt which condi-
tions must have been most beneficial TO
those crops.
During the week the rainfall has been
slightly de ficent In agricultural districts,
except from Western Pennsylvania south
westward TO Kansas and Indian Terri
tory, where slight excess has fallen.
The showers have been numerous and
well distributed, save In q few instances
OF local importance only. The large sea
sonal deficiency Of precipitation over the
cotton belt has been mitigated by recent
rains, which have been well distributed,
and of timely occurrence.
Over all agricultural districts the
weather Of the week has apparen tly been
favorable for the important crops, the
marked deficiency Of temperature 90
curing in localities OF secondary i'm
portance as regards the staples. South
Of the thirty-ninth parallel, where, pre-
sumably, grain harvesting is now gener-
al, the weather has been favorable for
that work, as no general rains have
fallen or high winds occurred, while the
sunshine has been at or above the aver.

Resolutions Of Respect Adopted by the
Little Rock Bar Association Upon the
Death Of General Newton.
The committee appointed by the Little
Rock Bar Association to take action In re-
gard to the death OF General H &. Newton,
reported the following resolu tions at an
adjourned meeting, and they were unani.
mously adopted:
Resolrei That in the death OF Robert c. New
ton the tar Of the State has sustained a severe
loss aud one that will long be felt Possessed of
aready and forcible eloquence, accompanied by
genial and agreeable manners, always ready TO
defend the right as he conceived IL, displaying in
all his professional engagements signal zeal and
ability, tempered always by uniform courtesy 70
an adversary and TO all with whom ho came In
contact he was deservedly popular, both with
the bar and the public. This favor, which he
long enjoyed, was also due In q large measurs
10 an extremely charitable and unselfish dis
position, for though firm and faithful in his
convictions. and steadfast in his friendships, he
manifested for the opinions and conduct OF
others true spirit OF federation which pleaded
continually and powerfully, and not in
vain, for forbearance and affection to-
wards himself. OF most generous
and forgvng temperament no lasting
resentment ever found place in his heart, and
no sentiment Of malice ever gave direction TO
tnOupnts, ui.turDtu tne uanQulntf Oi
his life; and he was equally free from all sor
did selfseeking, and from that ambition that
ignores or tramples on the rights and feelings
OF others. Long and intimately associated with
aim professionally and socially in many scenes
,ot free from vicissitudes, his demise in the
,ery prime Of life has come TO each one Of u
with q sense Of sadness that can not he eY-
pressed, and with the consciousness Of q loss
that can never be made good
Reso!red, That as 1t is a part OF oil who are
truly worthy OF affection to be most beloved
where they are best known, the deceased
though esteemed by all who knew him equally
for qualities OF mind and heart, was most be-
loved and cherished by those who enjoyed q
daily intimacy with his life and conversation,
and we are painfully aware that there is an
inner circle over which his death has cast the
darkest OF shadows, and which It has in
volved in the deepest afiicton. We, therefore,
respectfully tender to his surviving family our
sincerest sympathy and coincidence.
Resoirsd, That as a slight token Of our afec-
tion and respect for the memory OF the de-
,eased, we will wear the ususl badge of mourn.

WASHINGTON, June 13-The financial
transactions Of the American Telephone
Company, who claim to have exclusive
telephone privileges in the Republic Of
Venezuela, are the talk Of the town, and
various charges are made against those
connected with the enterprise. The OH.
GERS Of the company declare that their
proceedings have been entirely regular;
that they have franchise for nine years
which they consider very valuable, and
that, while Mr. Tyrer's record is unfort-
unate, it is no reason why the enterprises
should be abandoned.
On the other hand the Sunday Capital
under the caption of "AB)ld Scheme;--An
Extraordinary Financial Operations; Out
rageous Attempt to Fleece Washing gton
Investors" says: "Just how much money
has been secured in Washington by this
telephone bait, we do not know, but it is
said to be large sum. We hear Of one
merchant on the avenue who Is said to
have put in $4,000 1t is reported that a
good many department clerks have pur-
chased some Of the shares Investments
are also said to have been made by out
side capitalists. Mr.. Erastus Wiman, OF
Staten Island, is reported to have
put in $4,000. The plan OF
operations is thus described: One OF the
largest stockholders is reported to have
said that a dividend would be declared
within the next eight months, when four
per cent would be paid TO those holding
certificates Of stock He was asked how
il would be possible to do this and he
coolly replied that it was the intention Of
the incorporators to sell el, 600 600 worth OF
the stock. This would realize $l0), 900. Out
ofthis $40, ,0J0 would be used in the paymen
OF the first dividend. This, he thought
would send the stock TO fifty or sixty
dollars, at which figure those who en-
tered on the ground floor would probably
unload and the lambs would have to suf.
fer the consequences. This statement.
was made TO the stockholders as though
he thought it was perfectly legitimate"
Various attempts have been made by
representatives Of the press TO interview
Mr. Tyrer, whose record is impugned, but
he declines TO talk. Secretary Maxwell,
In conversation to-day respecting the
company strou bic, said I'VE have valua.

company Is perfectly honest and sound;

Congressman Butterworth, the presi
dent of the company, whom everybody
believes to have been perfectly honest in
his relation TO the company, is in Cincin-
mott. He has been telegraphed for, and
will arrive this evening, when meeting
Of the board Of directors will be held, TO
decide what course to pursue.

HORSEWH HIPPED.
AIvan ID. Brock Chastised by a
woman.

One OF those occurrences which
occasionally disturb the harmonious
ness of civilized community took
place yesterday morning at No. 3l6
North Main street. About 10 O'Clock
the occupants of that place of busi-
ness were startled by the sight of a
woman who, without warning, horse
whipped a real estate dealer named
Alyan d. Brock. When this woman,
who gave her name as Miss Sarah
Jane Warren entered the office,
Brooks back was turned, and the first
intimation he had of her presence was
the smart of a rawhide as it wrapped
itself around his person. Brock
seized the woman as soon Us he recov-
cred his presence of mind, and after a
short interchange OF words the woman
left for the office of a friend. The cause
which led to the incident, which does
not interest the public much, appears
to be rather mythical, but can be
readily imagined. Miss Warner came
to this city, she asserts, at Brooks re-
quest, and after working some time
for hm as a copyist, she was sup
planted in his affections by Miss
Perham. Miss Warner claims that
Brooks treatment of her was not
right.

all around town, followed by a large
crowd of people. As they came down
Spring street the officers were chang
ing watch, and Chief SINNERS ire
happened to be aroused by the noise.
Under his direction Officer Loomis
headed off the "army" and counter
marched them into the city prison.
One of their number mounted one OF
the officers hats which happened to
be hung upon the floor and began
singing their war cry, Come to

brought him to halt, however, by
pointing in the direction of eel
Chief Skinner told them that here
after they will not be allowed
to go "whooping" and yelling

that they could just as well hold their

necessary. They said they would
consult their general before
they could decide. They then drew
up in line and marched out of the
city prison keeping step without the

The following correspondence be-
tween the employees of the Baker Iron
Works and the company will explain
itself:
Los ANGELES, August Is, 1887.
To the Honorable Gentlemen Composing
the Baker Iron Works:
GENTLTMEN-We, your employees, do
most respectfully and emphatically re-
quest your honorable body to grant to
us nine hours as days work at pres
ent wages Tor ten hours. Also, we
wish this to take effect Immediately.
We make this request because most
mechanics in this city are working
nine hours per day and contractors and
overseers of factories have found by
practical demonstration that nearly if
not quite as much work will be per-
formed under the nine-hour system as
in ten hours. We, as body, are will
ing to exert ourselves to that end.
Hoping this will meet your approba-
baton, we are respectfully yours.
EMPLOYEES.
THE ANSWER.
To the Employes Of Or Works,
RESPECTED GENTLEMEN: Your re-
quest has just been laid before us.
The nature OF it is of too vital i'm
portance to us for us to give you an
answer within the time specified,
namely, Immediately.
You name as a reason that most
other mechanics are getting full pay
for nine hours time. We don't pro-
pose in this to show you the differ
ence and nature of the work you re-
fer to and ours. but simply to ask you
a short space of time, or an armstice,
to consider the demand, say ten days.
In the meantime we will confer
with any committee you may appoint.
Your proposition savors too much
of the highwayman's demand, "Your
money or your life !"
We can but view this portion of
your demand as an oversight OF yours
in not giving us any notice. TO you
individually this may seem small
matter, but to us it represents more
than ten days of time each day.
And we must emphatically decline
to give you an immediate answer.
Sould you accept our proposition
for time to consider, we will be pleased
to meet you.
Yours,
BAKER IRON Works.

ported out on the strike, forty remain
